Big Brother Winner
(UK) Big Brother 6 winner Anthony Hutton has been appointed an ambassador for youth in his home town. The honour was bestowed on Hutton by Labour-controlled Derwentside District Council.
Council leader Councillor Alex Watson said: 'Anthony has certainly put Consett on the map. We are pleased to be able to recognise Anthony's achievement by bestowing upon him the honour as ambassador for young people. We hope that he will help us motivate other young people in the district to achieve personal success.'
Phatgnat is in two minds on this issue: on the one hand BB is a hugely popular show with young people and therefore the profile of Hutton and the issues he is now 'representing' might create positive changes for the local youths, however, creating roles with no power (or funding) will only serve to alienate young people in the area further when they realise it is all a profile raising exercise—after all, fame (and popularity) is a fickle game with a shorter shelf-life than most fruit…
